$(selector).datepicker({
dateFormat: 'dd/mm/yy'
});

yy = 4 digit year

Hey Kevin

I solve it

I just changed in jquery.uidatepicker.js the dateFormat: 'mm/dd/yy' to dateFormat: 'dd/mm/yy' and it works very good.

Thanks for time and help

You shouldn't be changing the jQuery UI code, and it isn't necessary to do so. Changing the core code will make upgrading at a later time more difficult. As Kevin stated and showed, just override the dateFormat setting in your datepicker initialisation.
